Five Ways Competition – 2012
The Five Ways competition began in the mid 1980’s, for smaller camera clubs in this area to get together to promote photography.
First mention of it in the Rotorua Camera Club minute books is in the 1985, as the Four Corners Interclub Competition. It was held and hosted by Taupo Club, involving Rotorua, Turangi, Tokoroa and Taupo Clubs.
In 1990 it became the Three Ways competition, but it is not evident from the minute books as to which club did not participate.
Over the years, the group increased in size again, to became the Four Ways Competition including Taupo, South Waikato, Te Awamutu and Rotorua Camera Clubs.
Matamata Camera Club then joined the fold, hence the birth of the 5 Ways Competition.
Cambridge Camera Club then joined the group and it was renamed the “6 Ways Competition”.
In 2011, South Waikato Camera elected not to continue with their involvement in the competition.
So here we are in 2012, and Rotorua Camera Club is hosting this years competition.
Club member, Meg Lipscombe, is co-ordinating the clubs entries for judging.
